Highly successful Energy & Renewables team and help shape the future of sustainable development across the UK!
Seeking a proactive Senior or Associate Land Manager to play a pivotal role in driving land acquisition and stakeholder engagement for major renewable energy projects.
You'll lead on securing land rights for developer-led projects across a range of technologies —identifying sites, engaging landowners, negotiating agreements, and acting as the key liaison throughout the project lifecycle.
Expect variety, responsibility, and UK-wide travel as you build strong partnerships and engagement with landowners, agents, and high-profile clients.
The ideal candidate will have experience in negotiating terms for energy and renewables projects and will be motivated to carry out in-person landowner and developer engagement countrywide.
